home patrol computer connection

New unit. When I tried quick set up, during usb hook up I received an error message

"cabinet file is corrupt" 51C424DDIF82F28D77CHECF9B411D25AV"

Is there a way around this or should I return it?

Sent 4 emails to Uniden customer service and no reply- been a month. Called today and no answer for 20 minutes, left a message.

I think .cab files originate in your PC not in the HP.
I would remove and reinstall Sentinel Software...make sure you have the latest revision. 2.02 (Revision 4)

That correct. Not sure what the problem is, but it is with your PC, not the HP-1.

If you plug in a USB thumb drive, does it work?

Run a complete scan disk that checks the complete disk for errors(requires restart) and when your done a defrag wouldn't hurt either. that should patch the cab file

thanks for the link.

The DL worked great. I updated the firmware, HPDB, and "wrote to home patrol".
Is there anything else I should do?
